An inspired Lionel Messi responded to another penalty miss in style as Barcelona routedGetafe 6-0 at Camp Nou on Saturday to take another step towards defending their Liga title.
The Argentina international recorded three assists in a single top-flight game for the first time and got on the scoresheet twice himself as Barca - who started with Luis Suarez, Ivan Rakitic and Dani Alves on the bench, with one eye on the Champions League clash with Arsenal next week - put in a ruthless display.
Getafe had not won at Camp Nou in La Liga in eight attempts prior to Saturday's game, and they made the task of halting that run even more daunting with just eight minutes played when Rodriguez stabbed Jordi Alba's low cross into the far corner of the net.
